if i want to add a new symbol and import its data into the history centre

 

I like MQL4 platform, and i strongly favor the testing power and optimisation tools, also the more open programming flexibility, but my point is, i want to test my strategy in other symbols, like individual stocks and other stock indexes, futures contracts, etc. How can i do this? appreciate very much!

 

why did nobody know it ?
